LINGUIST is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new feature: Easy Abstracts! Easy Abs is a free abstract submission and review facility designed to help conference organizers and reviewers accept and process abstracts online. Just go to: http://www.linguistlist.org/confcustom, and begin your conference customization process today! With Easy Abstracts, submission and review will be as easy as 1-2-3!

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational psycholinguistics. ACL Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Martin Kay described this topic as 'build[ing] models of language that reflect in some interesting way, on the ways in which people use language.'

The 2010 workshop follows in the tradition of several previous meetings

(1) The computational psycholinguistics meeting at CogSci in Berkeley in 1997 (2) The Incremental Parsing workshop at ACL 2004 (3) The first CMCL workshop at ACL 2010

in inviting contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural language abilities.

Workshop Chairs:

Frank Keller, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh David Reitter, Department of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational psycholinguistics. ACL Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Martin Kay described this topic as 'build[ing] models of language that reflect in some interesting way, on the ways in which people use language.' Following several successful related workshops, we have selected from a large number of submissions several outstanding contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural language abilities.

Scope and Topics

The workshop presents a broad spectrum of work in the cognitive science of language, at all levels of analysis from sounds to discourse. It emphasizes precise, computational and cognitively valid and empirically verified models. This year's topics include:

The best paper whose first author is a student will receive the Best Student Paper award, sponsored by the Cognitive Science Society. The award consists of USD 250 and a one-year membership to the Cognitive Science Society.
